Why would she do that
I'm very good at what I do and people hire me for my skills and experience. They assume that I have this level of ability because I'm passionate about what I do.
I find what I do boring and pointless. As I'm sending a deliverable that I've worked for weeks on, my only thoughts are relief that it's done and what a waste of time it was. My clients thinking what I do is important is what keeps a roof over my head. But I think it's fucking stupid.
There's a whole emperor wears no clothes situation going on. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I find it hard to keep a straight face in meetings.
But I'm very aware of my privilege. I'm lucky I'm good at this and I'm lucky people pay me for it. But I'd rather just go lie in the backyard and stare at the floaters in my eyes all day than go to another networking opportunity, or conference, or listen to a podcast about my industry.
It's boring and it's dumb.
Nah it's not
Edit: well that was a fun experiment. The Reddit-esque nature of just approving contrary, trite statements is rife here on Lemmy too.
The person I replied to was correct. If English is your second language it's forgivable. For the rest of you, speak to your local member about the state of education where you live. Jfc.
What's really interesting to me is how much time they invest in this stuff. It's not exactly interesting. And there's no tangible result for them, other than ending up in court. They do end up having to pay tax or whatever it is they're trying to dodge.
What do they get out of it?
These sovcits obsessed with sticking to the DMV just seem like flat earthers - there's no actual point to the obsession.
Oh wow.
Had she done that when you were younger and she assumed you would have kids? I can kinda empathise with that. Making them I mean... But giving them to you...? Yeesh.
The boomers assumed we'd follow the same predetermined path as they did. My mum certainly thought I would, and so did I up until my late 20s. It was then when I realised whenever I thought about having kids it was with a sense of dread for something I assumed was inevitable.
Lucky for me my sister had a whole bunch so the pressure was off.
And the woman?
Surprisingly, people don't think about the USA all the time. Especially with respect to their own elections.
Nah. It's a health thing, a hygiene thing, and a lack of social awareness. Nothing trivial about it
I say lol occasionally, only for things that are dumb funny. Equivalent of a snort I guess?
"Hey did you hear Steve bought a jet ski? Where does he think he's going to use it? The local pool?"
"Really? Lol. What a dumbarse"
Like that. If shit is actually funny I laugh like a human.
Preferred term is sex worker given the long and negative history of the word prostitute.
There's a decent Louis Theroux doco covering a brothel. The staff aren't desperate. It's a form of work. Some enjoy it. Some find it a boring slog like most do the 9-5 office life. I can't imagine doing sex work but then I can't imagine working on an oil rig either.
Sex trafficking, homeless sex workers etc and all the horrible things that go with it are obviously a thing. But don't project that extreme on all sex work.
